The salary that the newspaper office can offer as an intern is very meager, and it can barely cope with the monthly rent of [-].But even so, Lu Yuxing still bought the whole costume for Tang Tang.

On the morning of the second day of the performance, Lu Yuxing took the costumes that he had washed at the dry cleaners and went to the theater gate to wait for Tang Tang.

It had just rained and the weather was still a bit muggy.

Lu Yuxing sat on the bench by the door and rolled up his sleeves slightly.After waiting for a while, Tang Tang hurried down the stairs and ran to him.

"Ah Xing..." Tang Tang took the paper bag and glanced inside in disbelief, "You really bought it!"

Lu Yuxing pulled him to sit down and said, "Your clothes were not found."

"You bought him!" Tang Tang blushed with excitement, revealing his lovely dimples.He held the paper bag in his arms as if he had found a treasure, thought for a moment, and felt a little embarrassed: "This suit is not cheap..."

"It's okay. You don't have to bother so much in the future."

Lu Yuxing originally wanted to say that he was rich, but after thinking about it, in front of Tang Tang, the living expenses provided by his family were really not worth mentioning.

Tang Tang looked at him quietly, with a pair of clear eyes smiling.

"Ah Xing," he moved closer, tilting his head slightly as if asking, "Did you like me a little bit more?"

Lu Yuxing turned his head to the side, the expression on his face was a little loose.

"I like it." Lu Yuxing lied indifferently, avoiding the question skillfully.

The sky was so densely covered with clouds that the sun could not be seen.Tang Tang's expression was a little lost, and the smile on his lips was a little stiff.

"I still have something to do today, and I'll come to see your performance tonight." Lu Yuxing patted him on the shoulder, "Go, Jiang Bing should scold me for wasting your time again."

Tang Tang was amused by him, and his mood immediately improved a lot.He stood up holding the paper bag, "Then I'll go."

The two bid farewell, and Lu Yuxing stood there watching him run away.When Tang Tang walked to the entrance of the theater, he looked back at him, raised his hand and waved.

Lu Yuxing waved to him, but the smile disappeared after the other party turned around.

The pale gray sky was covered with overcast clouds, with only a few irregular cracks exposed.Lu Yuxing looked thoughtfully at the crack overflowing with light, stood for a while, bowed his head and left.

He is tall, but he is used to walking with his head down.Years of performing arts have brought many troubles in life. In order to avoid the paparazzi, he always wears a peaked cap or sunglasses when he goes out, and walks quickly on the street with his head down.

Cui Yuqin called him in the morning and asked him to go home and have a look. Lu Yuxing agreed to make time, but left school early and took a bus to the old city.

Trams run through the city center towards the old town with low floors and narrow streets.

The old town gives people a damp, crowded and dilapidated impression.Dirty water from the vegetable market and small restaurants was randomly splashed on the sidewalks and flowed into the sewers along the cracks.The old signboards are scattered and messy, washed away by the rain all year round, revealing the yellow color of dirt.A lot of trucks were parked messily on the side of the road, blocking the road.

Lu Yuxing was in poor spirits today, he got out of the car a little drowsy, first stood by the side of the road and looked around for a while, and after identifying the place he wanted to find, he went straight to the path to the west.

He has to go to the newspaper office to work overtime in the afternoon, and he is also wearing a casual suit and leather shoes.There is a lot of water in the potholes on the path, and the bicycle runs over it from time to time and splashes some water.Even though Lu Yuxing was careful, there were still some water stains on his leather shoes.

Passing through a noisy open-air vegetable market, a small and dirty signboard was abruptly erected at the corner, hanging casually on the second floor, with a few words written in correct black letters on it - "Hong Kong City Xinjiu Detective Company ".

Lu Yuxing stopped and looked at the first floor of the signboard.

In the jewelry store decorated in pink tones, the young female clerk looked at the young man at the door with wary eyes.She trembled for a long time, and tentatively asked: "Sir, do you want to buy a card for your girlfriend? Clearance sale."

Lu Yuxing: "..."

He walked into the store expressionlessly, bypassed the female shop assistant, and went straight to the second floor.

The company environment of Xinjiu Office is as shabby as it was 20 years later, but it is also as powerful as 20 years later.They have a wide range of businesses, ranging from investigating husbands' infidelity to cooperating with politicians, and they dare to accept anything.As for the entertainment business, of course it is also within the scope of their cooperation.

Lu Yuxing pushed open the glass door that was so dirty that he couldn't see clearly, and walked into Xinjiu's office.

"Is anyone there?" He glanced at the brightly lit but empty front desk and asked loudly.

A sound of hurried footsteps came from not far away, "Here we come!"

I saw a neatly dressed man with a curly back running out of the office behind the front desk with a smile on his face.

"Welcome to Xinjiu Detective Agency! What kind of business do you want to start? You can get a discount as a member!"

He nodded and bowed, and ran to shake hands with Lu Yuxing, his not-so-good-looking face was full of smiles.

"Mr. Baizhi," Lu Yuxing pulled out his hand with some disgust, and reported the other person's name, "I want to ask your company to help me investigate a person."

Bai Zhi was obviously taken aback, and the smile on his face also restrained a lot.

He motioned for Lu Yuxing to sit down in the living room, and he didn't ask much about the other party's background, but went straight to the point.

"What do you want to investigate?"

"Everything." Lu Yuxing sat down opposite him, and said calmly, "I need everything about him that your company can find."

This is a pricey business.Bai Zhi's eyes lit up, and his well-combed hair was particularly eye-catching under the light.

"Who do you want to investigate?" He was a little curious. "Which politician? Or a big star?"

Lu Yuxing put his left hand on his knee and tapped his index finger lightly.

"No." He just hesitated for a moment, and then calmly replied:

"The youngest son of the chairman of Tang's Jewelry, his name is Tang Tang."

Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows and looked at the young man opposite him, he probably regarded Lu Yuxing as the boss of Tang's jewelry rival company.

"Tell me everything you can find." Lu Yuxing let him look at it, "Family composition, childhood experience, everything is in detail."

The working principle of the firm is not to inquire about the motives and personal identities of the clients. As the person in charge, Bai Zhi also firmly abides by this principle.

As long as the money is in place, he doesn't care about anything else.

"This is not a small business, sir." He said with a smile, "I think you should prepare a deposit of 20 yuan first, and then prepare a balance payment of [-] yuan. After all, it is the young master of a big company, and it is still very difficult for us to check. "

Lu Yuxing didn't change his expression, "I can't afford 20, but I have other things that I can trade with your company."

Bai Zhi's smile stopped, "What?"

"I can provide your company with five-year entertainment trends." Lu Yuxing raised his lips slightly, and spread out his bargaining chips politely, "Using these cooperation with TV stations and newspapers will make your company a lot of money, right?"

"Are you a paparazzi?" Bai Zhi frowned, looked at him for a while, and then changed his words, "Employee of a media company?"

"These have nothing to do with you."

The expression on Bai Zhi's face was unpredictable.

Lu Yuxing spread his hands, "You can try it first, if there is a mistake, it will not be too late to pay." His eyes were sharp, "Of course, the investigation results I get must also be true and reliable."

Bai Zhi didn't believe it, and asked: "You should first give me a reliable information for my reference."

Lu Yuxing looked at him, tapping his index finger on his knee lightly.

"...The media company that the police are investigating recently," he murmured, "the agent's tax evasion is true. There is a safe in his office, which contains all the evidence."

Coincidentally, Xinjiu also assisted in this case.Bai Zhi recalled that when he sneaked into the client's office last week, there was indeed a strong anti-theft safe in the corner.

When he raised his eyes to look at Lu Yuxing again, it was as if he was looking at the God of Wealth descending from the mortal world.

Lu Yuxing sat firmly opposite, keeping a calm expression.

He knew very well that the conditions he gave were absolutely tempting, but he also knew how to grasp this degree.He doesn't bother to expose the private lives of public figures, but he knows all the trends in the industry.Whose records are released and whose movies are released, the torrent of the times has already been engraved in his memory once.

After all, he was also caught in the big dye vat of the entertainment industry, and he could clearly see right from wrong.

The two reached an agreement, and Bai Zhi left his business card and delivered the deity and Buddha who didn't know where it came from to the door.

In the end, he couldn't help but asked Lu Yuxing: "Mr. Lu, what do you do?"

"news."

Lu Yuxing turned around and glanced at him, walked around the puddle on the side of the road with his long legs, and left.

At noon, Lu Yuxing went home to have dinner with his parents. Lu Junxiong was very satisfied with his son's choice of going to a newspaper for an internship.At the dinner table, he lamented that his son has finally matured and stabilized, and he no longer has illusions about the performing arts industry.

And Lu Yuxing, who had touched the gold trophy countless times with both hands, sat opposite him, and nodded silently when he heard his father say "the entertainment industry will not survive".

He had insomnia all night last night, and after lunch he felt dizzy and had a headache, followed by an unusual sense of drowsiness.

Both Cui Yuqin and Lu Junxiong were experienced doctors, and Lu Yuxing was afraid that they would notice something unusual, so he left in a hurry after sitting for a while, and went to work in the newspaper office.

It kept running like a gear for the whole day, and when the theater entered, Lu Yuxing's feet were already a little erratic.

The performance on Sunday was as hot as the day before. The audience poured in from the narrow entrances on both sides. Everyone was trapped in the torrent and could only follow the crowd in and out.

The staff at the ticket check kept repeating the security matters, but Lu Yuxing couldn't hear a word.

There seemed to be a lot of cicadas crawling into his ears, and the piercing chirping was non-stop, which gave him a headache.After walking with the crowd for a while, Lu Yuxing found a seat on the left in the back row and sat down in his seat.

The environment is too noisy.Closing his eyes, a terrifying scene appeared in Lu Yuxing's mind.

He was standing on a bustling street in Hong Kong City, surrounded by fans and passers-by. The sound of security warnings sounded from both sides, but countless flashing lights flashed in front of him at night, dazzling.

Under the dim light of the theater, cold sweat broke out on Lu Yuxing's forehead, and his complexion turned pale.

At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a black disposable mask walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder in surprise.
